Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke
If we have learned one thing from the history of invention and discovery, it is that, in the long run-and often in the short one-the most daring prophecies seem laughably conservative.
Arthur C. Clarke
The goal of the future is full unemployment, so we can play. That's why we have to destroy the present politico-economic system.
Arthur C. Clarke
When all else failed, you had to rely on eyeball intrumentation.
Arthur C. Clarke
I will not be afraid because I understand ... And understanding is happiness.
Arthur C. Clarke

Arthur C. Clarke
